On the Structure of the Virtual Compton Amplitude in the Generalized Bjorken Region: Integral Relations
نویسندگان
چکیده
A systematic study is performed of the structure of the twist–2 contributions to the virtual Compton amplitude in deep–inelastic non–forward scattering for general spin states in the non–local light cone expansion. The gauge invariance is proven in this approach for the twist–2 contributions for non–forward scattering. Relations are derived between the contributing non–forward amplitudes.

The Virtual Compton Amplitude in the Generalized Bjorken Region: Twist–2 Contributions
A systematic derivation is presented of the twist–2 anomalous dimensions of the general quark and gluon light–ray operators in the generalized Bjorken region in leading order both for unpolarized and polarized scattering. Various representations of the anomalous dimensions are derived in the non–local and local light cone expansion and their properties are discussed in detail. Evolution equatio...
متن کاملRepresentation of the virtual Compton amplitude for polarized scattering in the generalized Bjorken region
The Compton amplitude is calculated in terms of expectation values of light–ray quark operators. As a technical tool we apply the nonlocal light–cone expansion. Thereby we express the expectation value of the vector light–ray operator with the help of the expectation value of the corresponding scalar operator of twist 2. This allows important simplifications. In the limit of forward scattering ...
متن کاملQuantum Field Theoretic Treatment of the Non–Forward Compton Amplitude in the Generalized Bjorken Region
A quantum field theoretic treatment of the leading light–cone part of the virtual Compton amplitude is presented. The twist–decomposition of the operators is performed by a group–theoretic procedure respecting the Lorentz group O(3, 1). The twist–2 contributions to the Compton amplitude are calculated and it is shown that the electromagnetic current is conserved for these terms. Relations betwe...
متن کامل0 Twist - three effects in two - photon processes
We give a general treatment of twist-three effects in two-photon reactions. We address the issue of the gauge invariance of the Compton amplitude in generalized Bjorken kinematics and relations of twist-three 'transverse' skewed parton distributions to twist-two ones and interaction dependent three-particle correlation functions. Finally, we discuss leading order evolution of twist-three functi...

We show that the matrix element of a local quark-gluon operator in the photon state, , can be calculated in lattice QCD. The result is generalized to other quantities involving spacelike photons, including the transition form factor gammagamma*-->pi(0) and the virtual-photon-nucleon Compton amplitude which can be used to define the generalized...
